Nixon Seeks Abolition Of Student Deferments

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

President Nixon yesterday abolished further occupational, agricultural, and fatherhood deferments and asked Congress for the authority to abolish further student deferments.

The abolition of student deferments would likewise affect only these students who do not already have deferments.
